About the show
Step back in time to the romance of the Jazz Age at London’s award-winning 1920s-themed party, with live jazz, cabaret and cocktails in a secret venue filled with candles, where everyone dresses the part.
Shrug off the winter blues and embrace the joys of spring with a night of revelry at our south London speakeasy. Leading the charge will be Hostess With the Mostest, AMBER TOPAZ, a fireball of song, sass and seduction, introducing joyous burlesque from BONNIE FOX and red-hot ragtime rhythms from the SHIRT TAIL STOMPERS. When the band aren’t playing, DJs the BEE'S KNEES will be spinning vintage vinyl into the night.
Elsewhere there will be a pop-up vintage jewellery store and our tarot reader Lucius, plus a complimentary dance lesson in the foxtrot, the default social dance of the 1920s, from George and Sarah.
You can come just for drinks and dancing, but you can also reserve a table with Champagne, or book the three-course dinner. There’s even an inclusive-drinks option. Ticket-holders receive an email two days before revealing the secret location (which is close to a tube station). So pull on your flapper dress and get ready to shimmy…

"The closest you'll find to an authentic Jazz Age experience in central London. Its unique ambience, fuelled by hundreds of candles, is truly a scene to behold." —Time Out

Shirt Tail Stompers
The Shirt Tail Stompers are heavily influenced by the great American band leaders and musicians of the '20s, '30s and '40s and are on a mission to bring swing music back into the mainstream with their own suave and raucous stamp.
Equally at home in concert halls, festival stages and cabaret bars, the musicians' previous performances include The Royal Albert Hall, Cafe De Paris, Glastonbury Festival, Lovebox and Brighton Fringe Festival.
They've even travelled across the world, playing to thrilled audiences in Australia, Italy, France, Greece, Austria, Germany and Cornwall!
'Righteously retro, but youthful, trad jazzers dive back to prohibition-era speakeasies for inspiration, playing clarinet/trumpet/guitar-led Dixieland hits from Waller, Ellington and Basie' (Time Out).
